Lecture by Susanne Marschall: An Artist's Film in Red
THE RED SHOES The Red Shoes
Great Britain 1948. R: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
D: Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring. 135 min. 35mm. OF
The color red, in all its variety of meanings and effects, is the focus of the artist's film THE RED SHOES. The red, which painter Hein Heckroth conjured up on the screen in various manifestations together with directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and cinematographer Jack Cardiff, owes its existence to the special quality of the Technicolor color film process. This lecture introduces the color design of the famous ballet film, in which film, theater, dance, and painting find an avant-garde synthesis of the arts.
